Take a zooming tour through the amazing world of cars, trucks, buses, and motorcycles--all powered by engines, inventions, and a spark of curiosity! Ever wondered what makes a fire engine's water pump roar, how electric cars silently zip along city streets, or why monster trucks crush cars with those giant wheels? The answers roll out in every colorful page.
This book unwraps how vehicles are designed, built, and tested, showing each step from squiggly sketches to shiny showrooms. Curious kids will love learning about crash-test dummies, drive-by-wire systems, all-wheel drives, hybrid engines, and even wild concepts like self-driving cars and one-wheeled electric bikes. There's plenty to fascinate fans of National Geographic Kids and truck books for preschoolers--you'll even meet the creators behind famous rides like the Model-T Ford and the Volkswagen Beetle. Whether it's construction giants, speedy racing cars, or motorcycles zipping through busy city streets, each chapter blends real-life photos and hands-on explanations. For every reader ready to explore how vehicles make life move, invent new ideas, and turn everyday drives into awesome adventures--jump in and find the science, fun, and wonder right under the hood!Nick Hardcastle studied illustration at Maidstone College of Art and the Royal College of Art in London.Nick Hardcastle studied illustration at Maidstone College of Art and the Royal College of Art in London.
